**[00:00] Mik**
Did you all have a lot to eat?
**[00:03] Bear**
Yes!
**[00:04] Mouse**
Yes!
**[00:06] All**
Yeah!
**[00:07] Rabbit**
Then it's time to make tea and have sweets!
**[00:09] Mik**
We've got all kinds of sweets!
**[00:12] Tan**
I highly recommend the baumkuchen!
**[00:14] Hen**
It's really soft! Everybody raves about it!
**[00:18] Ele**
It's one tasty trunk!
**[00:20] MIk**
Everyone, time to go into the kiln!
**[00:22] All**
Yay!
**[00:25] Mik**
Come back safe, okay?
**[00:27] Mik**
Of course! I can't wait to go into the kiln!
**[00:30] Him**
What are you mumbling about over here?
**[00:32] Mik**
Nothing! I'm just trying to inject some soul
into my pieces by giving them a back story!
**[00:36] Him**
Is that so?
**[00:38] Nao**
Playing house.
**[00:39] Mik**
Excuse you, Naruse-san!
**[00:41] Mik**
I heard loud and clear that
you said "playing house"!
**[00:43] Mik**
What's with the attitude?!
**[00:45] Mik**
That's blatantly mean!
**[00:48] Tou**
Please be quiet.
**[00:50] Tou**
You're causing my fingertips to waver.
**[00:53] Mik**
Okay.
**[00:56] Him**
*She's not kidding around...*
***SIGN*** Himeno's Piece
**[02:50] him**
* Touko-senpai and Kukuri-chan are both making*
* steady progress on their contest entries.*
**[03:02] him**
*I need to decide what I'm going to make.*
**[03:11] him**
That spire that my mother made...
**[03:19] him**
* That didn't mean I actually wanted*
* to make something like this...*
**[03:26] Mik**
Oh wow, you're really making progress!
**[03:28] Mik**
Is this a cute little conger eel?
**[03:29] Him**
Huh?
**[03:31] Him**
Oh, thanks...
**[03:32] Mik**
No problem.
**[03:35] Him**
You're always coming up with so
many ideas from cute to bizarre.
**[03:39] Mik**
Bizarre?
**[03:40] Him**
So what's your secret?
**[03:43] Mik**
There's no secret, really.
**[03:45] Mik**
I only draw stuff I like,
and the same goes for molding clay.
**[03:48] Mik**
I only make my favorite things!
**[03:52] Mik**
You should try drawing the things you love
**[03:54] Mik**
or the things that make you excited!
**[03:56] Mik**
It might inspire you.
**[03:58] Him**
Things I love, huh?
**[04:02] Him**
Maybe something like this?
**[04:04] Him**
This is good.
**[04:06] Mik**
Show me, show me!
**[04:10] Mik**
Um...
**[04:13] Mik**
I get it! You like to clean!
**[04:15] Mik**
That's a cleaning brush!
**[04:17] Him**
It's a cream puff...
**[04:21] Him**
You guys....
**[04:24] Nao**
A sea urchin!
**[04:25] Him**
The sun!
**[04:26] Mik**
A UFO and a rocket!
**[04:28] Him**
A red bell pepper with a shishito pepper!
**[04:30] Nao**
A cat's paw!
**[04:31] Him**
A rug beater!
**[04:34] Mik**
Uhm... uh... a hippo?
**[04:36] Him**
It's a sewing machine!
**[04:39] Him**
Why are you laughing?!
**[04:41] Mik**
Because! This is the hardest test ever.
**[04:44] Tou**
Hey! It's very rude to
laugh at someone's work!
**[04:52] Tou**
I can see how family oriented you are.
**[04:55] Him**
Huh?
**[04:56] Him**
Yeah, I guess so.
**[04:59] Tou**
That's the feeling I get
when I look at these.
**[05:02] Tou**
The context theme is "Ideas for including
Mino Ware in Your Daily Life."
**[05:06] Tou**
Something that would be
wonderful if it existed.
**[05:10] Tou**
I'm sure that you will be
able to find that something.
**[05:13] Him**
I-I'll do my best!
**[05:16] Tou**
Oh, but this is such a great kappa drawing!
**[05:22] Him**
That's my dad...
**[05:25] Him**
It's my dad.
**[05:27] Tou**
Well, your color work
is very vivid and nice.
**[05:30] Him**
Thank you very much.
**[05:40] Him**
Something wonderful for every day, huh...
**[05:45] (Flashback) Dad**
It would be nice to have some more
variety in our smaller plates.
**[05:51] (Flashback) Old**
That's true.
**[05:56] Him**
Hey, Kukuri-chan! I was wondering
if you could show me something...
**[06:03] Mik**
That's right. When you're
making a small plate,
**[06:05] Mik**
the beginning is just like
making a cup or bowl.
**[06:08] Him**
So I just spread and flatten it, right?
**[06:11] Mik**
Then you use this rib to smooth it out.
**[06:15] Him**
I'm so nervous...
**[06:19] Mik**
Wow! I can't believe it, Hime-chan!
**[06:21] Mik**
Good, you're doing good!
That looks super good!
**[06:24] Him**
Really?
**[06:25] Nao**
Splendid. Spot on.
**[06:29] Him**
And then I just use this piece of
leather to finalize the edge, right?
**[06:33] ---**
Here I go...
**[06:37] Nao**
Hime-chan!
**[06:38] Him**
I-I'll try it again! If I try
it again, surely it'll...
**[06:43] Him**
They're all flat.
**[06:46] Him**
Not even one lucky one...
**[06:48] Nao**
I'll buy you an ice cream on the way home.
**[06:55] nao**
This year's limited edition is tasty again.
**[07:03] Him**
I'm home...
**[07:18] Him**
I'm home!
**[07:20] Dad**
Welcome back.
**[07:21] Him**
I made it pretty strong.
I'll just leave it here.
**[07:23] Dad**
Thank you.
**[07:40] Him**
So...
**[07:41] Dad**
I guess I'll put these in the back...
**[07:53] ---**
Ah! That's hot!
**[07:55] Dad**
Oh, what is it? What's wrong?
**[07:58] Him**
The cushion...
**[07:59] Dad**
I bet it's burning hot, huh?
It's been drying it in the sun all day.
**[08:10] Dad**
The prompt for the contest, huh...
**[08:13] Him**
Everyone's so amazing.
**[08:15] Him**
Kukuri-chan and Touko-senpai
are both getting so much done.
**[08:27] Him**
If only I could make something like Mom did...
**[08:31] Him**
It's not going so well
at the pottery wheel...
**[08:34] Him**
But I can't even think of what
I could do with hand building.
**[08:41] Him**
What the?!
**[08:42] Dad**
Look at it!
**[08:43] Dad**
So what do you think about this?
**[08:45] Him**
What is that supposed to be?
**[08:46] Dad**
I left this here back when we moved to Tokyo.
**[08:49] Dad**
This really takes me back.
**[08:51] Dad**
Your mom made this for me, back when
I was on the high school baseball team.
**[08:56] Dad**
It's a ceramic bat!
**[08:58] Him**
A ceramic... bat?
**[09:00] Dad**
That's just how she was, if she
thought of it, she made it.
**[09:06] Dad**
Even in second year I was still
only a substitute player,
**[09:09] Dad**
and I thought of quitting, but
couldn't quite make up my mind.
**[09:16] Dad**
And that's when your mom came around,
right when I was in the dumps.
**[09:21] Dad**
She told me that she liked seeing me
swing the bat around day in and day out
**[09:24] Dad**
with such devotion and passion
even if I wasn't good.
**[09:30] Him**
What's this, what's this?
**[09:32] Him**
You were so lovey-dovey!
**[09:34] Dad**
Right?
**[09:37] Dad**
But this is a ceramic bat.
**[09:40] Him**
That's heavy!
**[09:41] Dad**
You're guaranteed to hurt
your hips if you swing this.
**[09:44] Him**
So it's no good.
**[09:45] Dad**
Not to mention, even if you could swing it,
**[09:47] Dad**
it would break on contact with the ball.
**[09:51] Dad**
But then she got this sparkle in her eye...
**[09:54] Dad**
As if she was saying, "With this
you can become a regular player, right?"
**[09:59] Dad**
The whole thing was pretty ridiculous.
**[10:01] Dad**
But it certainly cheered me up.
**[10:06] Dad**
After that, I went on to
work behind the scenes.
**[10:10] Dad**
I figured, that wasn't a
bad way to shine.
**[10:13] Him**
I see.
**[10:16] Dad**
You should hit it with your
own brand of passion, too.
**[10:19] Dad**
You don't know what, but
you want to create something!
**[10:22] Dad**
If you keep that idea with you,
**[10:24] Dad**
I'm sure something good will come of it.
**[10:26] Him**
I'm struggling because I haven't
been able to make that work!
**[10:32] Him**
But... you're right.
**[10:36] Him**
Thank you for listening to me, Dad.
**[10:44] Him**
They hardened in their deflated state.
**[10:47] Mik**
Don't worry about that! Just try again.
**[10:51] Him**
I guess.
**[10:54] Him**
Touko-senpai!
**[10:55] Tou**
Delivery. Let's take a step back.
**[11:17] Him**
Hey, hey, Kukuri-chan! Check this out!
**[11:19] MIk**
Huh?
**[11:21] Him**
I made them into coasters!
**[11:23] Mik**
Oh that's cute! Ceramic coasters!
**[11:27] ---**
Hey, what!
**[11:29] Him**
Lulu.
**[11:30] Mik**
You even put my tanuki on there!
**[11:33] Him**
I got carried away.
**[11:34] Him**
But Kukuri-chan, this feels
so nice and coolulu.
**[11:38] Mik**
Why are you talking like that?
**[11:40] Him**
This feels so nice and coolulu.
**[11:48] Him**
I got it.
**[11:50] Him**
I got it!
***SIGN*** Feels so nice and cool
**[11:53] Him**
This is what I'm going to make!
**[11:56] Mik**
What is "this"?
**[11:59] Tou**
Toyokawa-san, what exactly... is that?
***SIGN*** Feels so nice and cool
**[12:03] Him**
Thank you for asking!
**[12:06] Him**
This is a ceramic cushion
for people to sit on!
**[12:09] Mik**
A ceramic cushion? That sounds hard, though.
**[12:12] Him**
Still, I bet sitting on one must feel good!
**[12:15] Tou**
Actually, in the Tang and
Song dynasties in China,
**[12:18] Tou**
they did make ceramic pillows,
so I think that might work.
**[12:23] Him**
Right? If it goes well, I think
it might be really good!
**[12:27] Him**
Even if it's a bit absurd.
**[12:29] Mik**
Absurd is good! I want to see your absurd!
**[12:32] Him**
I think I'm getting excited now!
**[12:35] Mik**
I've been waiting for that.
**[12:38] Him**
Kukuri-chan, that tickles!
**[12:40] Tou**
I'm glad you finally found
what you want to make.
**[12:43] Tou**
If you want make it so people
can actually sit on it,
**[12:45] Tou**
you'll have to put a lot
of thought into it though.
**[12:48] Him**
Aye, aye! please teach me everything!
**[12:50] Tou**
All right!
**[12:56] Nao**
They're having fun.
**[13:06] Nao**
She put caterpillar treads on her dad?!
**[14:25] Mad**
It's really summer now!

Tokigawa is prospering thanks to eel,
but then that person came along!
**[14:31] Mad**
And the four girls will be in swimsuits.
**[14:33] Mad**
Next time, we've got
"Kukuri of the Strange River".
